Haida Gwaii or North Vancouver Island? A Guide to What to Look For
If Haida Gwaii is your idea of a great adventure, you may also want to consider the Northeast coast of Vancouver Island. The Island’s far less traveled Northeast is not only spectacularly beautiful, but is the best place in the world to see orca whales, and is home to the vibrant cultural of the Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw people.
It’s also closer to Vancouver, which makes it a more accessible and cost-effective way to experience the singular wilderness of Canada’s north Pacific.

Whether it’s hiking through mist-shrouded volcanoes, foraging for pepper cherries and breadfruit on an organic farm, or scuba diving among the corals, karibu’s Dominica adventures are authentic, sustainable travel done right.
